First,

Hello all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It's time for me to start ordering parts to stockpile for when the weather gets warmer and I can start working on the cars. Any leads to who I should trust my cash too?


I've heard about the problems with the places in Atlanta and Chicago. The place in CA where I met most of you is 2 for two for screwed orders. Any place else?

Thanks,
Bruce

I too have had several probs with the El Segundo folks. Long time customer (99) and service seemed to go downhill just recently. Probably the old "trying to grow too fast" syndrome that killed a number of "dot-bomb" outfits a year or two ago.

Anyways, it kinda depends what type of parts you need.

For bon-a-fide factory parts (new), I use Stoddard.

For bon-a-fide factory parts (used), Carquip and Ottos are two good sources, among many.

For new stuff, I have also had good results from GPR (10+ year customer) and Paragon. I do also use Performance Products sometimes, mainly for speed/convenience (I am local to them and they carry a very large inventory in an actual warehouse).

For misc race stuff, Pegasus, Coleman, Jegs, OG Racing, Sube Sports...
